It would be a little problematic to combine both of these goals - if
clients were connecting via TCP, and there was a view of the game
available to multiple clients via TCP, suddenly clients have the ability
to see the 'spectator' view of the gameboard. Probably wouldn't be a
problem if the spectator view was on enough of a delay to make the
information useless (either by prerecording the whole game and playing
it out (which I guess would be nice for passing around prerecorded
games), or having the delay on the scale of over a minute).
